Gladwell's entire career has been seeking one revelatory moment after another. Always backed by (entertaining!) anecdata and cherry picking.

On the one hand, I have trouble believing he ever lost religion given the way he operates. On the other, this seems like marketing for a new book.

Now what's the hand of two hands not clapping?

Certainly not his entire career. Malcolm Gladwell is/was a propagandist shilling for pharma, big tobacco, wall street, and the health insurance industry.
